I think that the start of a new school year gives us all the chance to do a little reset. We switch from our laid back summertime mode into a more structured back to school routine. My family & I also start to focus on getting back to eating healthier. I mean, I have to keep the kiddos (& myself!) ready to go & fueled for each school day.

To help make this reset back to healthier eating more fun & a whole lot easier, I have enlisted the help of some of our favorite brands from the Natural Foods Department at our local Kroger. On my last shopping trip to Kroger, I picked up a box of Horizon Chocolate Snack Grahams, a package of Simple Truth Organic Banana Chips, & a bag of Simple Truth Walnut Halves & Pieces to whip up this super easy to make & 100% kid approved Chunky Monkey Snack Mix...

This fun 3 ingredient snack mix is so simple to make that you can even let the kids whip up this one all by themselves. This crunchy mix of whole wheat chocolate grahams, organic banana chips, & satisfying walnuts is sure to quickly become a lunchbox and after school snack favorite. :)

I love how the Natural Foods Department at my local Kroger store makes it so easy for me to keep our snack tray and fridge well stocked with healthier choices for the kids during the school year. All of our favorite natural & organic brands like Horizon Organic & Simple Truth are conveniently located together in one department near the front of the store.

I don't have to go dashing from aisle to aisle to find the Horizon Organic Strawberry Lowfat Milk my daughter requested and then head off in another direction to pick up the Horizon Organic Good & Go! snack combos I like to keep stashed in the fridge for quick after school snacks. It saves me time, and we all know that time is a precious commodity during the busy school year.

With Horizon and Simple Truth products, packing that lunchbox can be quick and easy peasy. Toss in a Horizon Organic Good & Go! snack combo, an apple, a scoop of the Chunky Monkey Snack Mix, and a Horizon Organic Strawberry Lowfat Milk, and you are good to go! :)

I like to keep a snack tray in the fridge stocked with our favorite Horizon Organic single serving milks, pre-filled baggies of Chunky Monkey Snack Mix, & Horizon Organic Good & Go! snack combos for easy after school snacks & to make lunch prep a little quicker.
